From 1 to 3% of acute renal failures are due to acute interstitial nephritis (AIN). Most of them are due to drugs. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, penicillins and sulfonamides are the most frequently reported. Clinical presentation of drug-induced AIN has changed over time and with the use of new drugs. In fact actually the classic triad of fever, rash and eosinophilia is uncommon. Omeprazole is a drug widely used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and peptic ulcer disease. Serious side effects are rare with this drug, but despite of its safety we can see serious adverse effects such as acute renal failure. We describe two cases of acute interstitial nephritis after use of omeprazole and a review of all the cases published in the last years.

Pantoprazole is a proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) that is commonly prescribed for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux-related disorders. There are many documented side effects of PPIs. Here we report a case of acute interstitial nephritis, which developed after 6 weeks of treatment with pantoprazole. A 23-year-old man presented with acute renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy. Acute interstitial nephritis was diagnosed by renal biopsy and was successfully treated with corticosteroids and withdrawal of pantoprazole. Drug-induced acute interstitial nephritis can occur with PPIs such as pantoprazole and vigilance needs to be maintained.
